30 is not representative at all.

Generally the minimum is 1000 people taken at random to be at least a bit representative

Thought Putin hated social media, apparently I am wrong

I was going to ask, it made no sense to me either.

I would have seen it maybe in a country with a sizable french speaking population but Hungary seemed weird.

As a native french speaker I can say that the speech they recreated is much much faithful to De Gaulle's actual way to speak than the actors who played him.

De Gaulle had a very special way to talk, he talked extremely slowly exagerating the pronunciation of every word and making long pauses. I never heard an actor actually doing him perfectly, in Le Monde's video they are basically spot on, I don't think anyone could tell it's not De Gaulle with any certitude.

It’s explained in the short video.

They had three different written versions of the speech from three different sources but no actual recording to know which is the actual one.

They then found a guy who had access to Swiss military archives and apparently Switzerland kept extensive transcriptions of radio broadcasts in their archives and they had a very thorough transcription of the speech in swiss german. They translated it and compared it to the three other french versions they had to make what was most likely a very close transcription.

They did use a human actor and made him reproduce De Gaulle’s rhythm from actual recordings but without changing his voice. The AI intervened after that to modify the voice of the actor by analyzing the voices of De Gaulle and of the actor to make them match.

I assume they will, they are a major newspaper with excellent reputation, they can’t risk tarnishing that by forgetting that.

It’s no trouble at all when you have unlimited time to kill and nothing else to do.

As a french person it’s awful if we are honest.

Most of the politic and economic activity happens on Paris meaning that’s where the jobs are too, many people have to go live in Paris to study or work making it an overcrowded and super expensive city.

Extreme centralization is honestly a terrible way to run a country.

I mean I see how it’s kind of efficient to have all the decision centers at the same place but it’s no fun for the average Joe who has to deal with it.

Even the German soldiers tried their best to not shoot him. This is a pretty dumb action really.

If the Germans had been inclined to fight him he would have been shot dead the second he poped his head out.

You don’t know much about Germany, do you?
